Schoolgirl Mecha Heads to Switch 2 Event in October

The world is going all topsy-turvy — I mean, imagine a future where you can’t even grab a scoop of ice cream. Weirdly enough, this is how things roll in 2089 Japan, that is if you trust what those folks over at D3Publisher are telling us. They’ve just spilled the beans about this game called Full Metal Schoolgirl, coming to us on October 23rd.

Yuke’s—you might remember them from EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and that wrestling game, AEW: Fight Forever—are the brains behind this new title. They call it an “action-packed adventure with a heavy-duty attitude.” I mean, I saw the trailer and I guess that makes sense, though who knows what that really means, right?

So, um, what’s the scoop? Let’s just peek at their press release or whatever:

Picture it: 2089. Japan’s gone full-on dystopian, with some big bad corp called Meternal Jobz at the helm. Get this—these guys have a workforce of zombified cyborgs called the “Working Dead” that literally don’t stop working. As a cyborg schoolgirl (yep, you read that right), you’re out to climb this never-ending skyscraper to take out corporate minions and their evil CEO. Honestly, it sounds like a weird fusion of revenge and chaos. Nobuyuki Okajima, a producer at D3Publisher, put it nicely (or cryptically?), calling it a “thrilling close-quarters battle experience set in a brutal satire of late-stage capitalism.”

It’s like they’re making fun of our world now—and in the future? Interesting choice to make it 2089.

So, gear up as a super-schoolgirl cyborg ready to bust into Meternal Jobz. Packed with crazy weapons and upgrades, your mission is to handle those relentless “Working Dead” willing to defend their HQ till the very end. Plus, you’ll be scaling this crazy tall skyscraper which, by the way, is constantly changing. It sounds like being trapped in a mechanical maze where at the top, surprise surprise, awaits the evil CEO.

Here’s the kicker—you’ll boost up your weapons and gear by livestream battles. According to them, as more folks tune into your stream, the more backing you’ll get—even if you flub it. It’s kinda nuts, but in this future, the digital audience actually cheers you on.

Oh—don’t even think about pre-ordering this on Switch 2 yet. It’s not a thing, though you can snoop around for more details on their official site.

Life’s strange, huh? But exciting too.
